THE HYMN OF A GOOD WIFE

--> A good woman is hard to find and worth far more than diamonds. Her husband trusts her without reserve and never has a reason to regret it. Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long. She shops around for the best yarns and cottons and enjoys knitting and sewing. She is like a trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises. She is up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day. She looks over a field and buys it, then, with the money she saves, she plants a garden. First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.

The bible relates the concept of submission between a man and his wife to the concept of submission between God and his church.  God has empowered the church with so many gifts to be able to carry out his will on earth (1 Corinthians 12v7-11). God needs the church to use these gifts in accordance to his will, as a result, the church has to be submissive to the will of God.
